[QUOTE="Voltwings, post: 13706282, member: 155561"] Ford isnt "cheap," they're a business, one that IS budgeted. The camaro doesnt exactly have a clean sweep of the mustang lineup either, Ford has its share of wins in various head to head comparisons. Also, the current camaro in almost any trim costs an appreciable amount more than its direct competitor mustang. Do you get a better platform? its arguable, depends on what you're using it for. Do you get a better value? doubt it. Mustang interiors have always been lacking, and i am a mustang die hard, but its a hard fact to ignore. Now, with this redesign, Ford had an option: Dump every bit of R&D into the suspension and make this car purpose built. Or, spend it on the whole car, bringing the whole package up to date. I have a day job, spend most of my time driving to work, will bomb back roads on the weekends and have the occasional pick up race. I want my car to perform, but more importantly i do NOT want a chevrolet grade interior when i spend most of my time just driving to and from work ... everything other than the C7 (a $60k car mind you...) is just garbage. Im not someone who's ass needs to touch leather and should be driving a mercedes, but if i'm dropping 40k or so on a car theres a certain degree i expect. Say what you want about the alpha platform being better, it may very well be, but i promise in the hands of average joe(s) that no one will be able to drive these cars hard enough to know the difference.
